Notes

p u r e l y theoretical approaches to the question of style and typology in
Scandinavia's Iron Age art. One can assume that this work would have helped the
authors of V i k i n g A r t avoid an occasional vagueness in descriptive terminology.
For example, the expressions "naturalism" and "naturalistic" are employed over
and over again, yet without any attempt to establish a criterion for their usage.
Despite the reservations mentioned above, V i k i n g A r t , both in its first and
second printings, is an unquestionably valuable piece of scholarship. It remains
one of the best introductions to a particularly compelling area of study and as
such its authors deserve our respect and appreciation.

NOTES
On November 18, 1980, the Concordia Historical Institute of St. Louis
presented E m e r o y Johnson an award "for his straightforward, sympathetic and
appreciative look at the Swedish Lutheran parochial school, curriculum and
ethos in the article 'Swedish Elementary Schools in Minnesota Lutheran
Congregations' published in S P H Q , X X X : 2 (July 1979), pp. 172-182."
* * *
A r k i v f y n d (Number 2, November 1980) and published by Gustavus Adolphus
C o l l e g e consists of Emeroy Johnson's " S o c i a l M i n i s t r y by Lutherans in
Minnesota." The article is a summary of what the Minnesota Conference of the
Augustana Synod and the later Minnesota Synod have done by way of providing
hospitals, orphanages, old people's homes, and other social services over the
years.

On September 21, 1980, Grant Dahlstrom died in Los Angeles at the age of
seventy-eight. The son of a Swedish-American Mormon blacksmith, Dahlstrom
became a printer in Utah and moved on to Southern California, where in time he
became famous as "the one who brought fine printing to Southern California."
He designed books. From 1943 on he was the owner of the Castle Press, which
had as its clients, among others, the University of Southern California, the
University of California at Los Angeles, and the Huntington Library of Pasadena.

Bengt Sigurd, ed., D e n o r d i s k a språkens f r a m t i d , Skrifter utgivna av Svenska
språknämnden, 61 (Lund: Esselte Studium, 1977), includes an essay by Nils
Hasselmo of the University of Minnesota on " D e nordiska språkens situation i
Nordamerika" (pp. 103-31).
An article by N i l s Hasselmo, "We Learned; Why Can't T h e y ? " appeared in the
April 1980 issue of the A u g u s t a n a College M a g a z i n e . It was first presented as the
banquet speech for the SPHS fall meeting at Augustana College, Rock Island,
Illinois, on 22 September 1979.

In the July 1980 issue (Vol. X X X I , 218), we announced the publication, under
the title, The Swedes i n K n o x C o u n t y , I l l i n o i s , of a portion of E r i c Johnson and
C. F. Peterson's p i o n e e r i n g work, Svenskarne i I l l i n o i s (Chicago, 1880),
translated by the late Leroy Williamson. The Knox County Genealogical Society,
which sponsored Williamson's translation, would like to find someone able to
translate the rest of Svenskarne i I l l i n o i s . Contact the Society's president, Jean
Forbes (Knox County Genealogical Society, P. O. Box 13, Galesburg, I L 61401).

In A p r i l 1980, the C o u n c i l on International Non-Theatrical Events in
Washington, D . C , awarded its C I N E Golden Eagle to the Bishop H i l l Heritage
Association's 27-minute documentary color film, " B i s h o p H i l l , " recognizing its
suitability to represent the United States and American cinematography abroad.
In the next few months, C I N E w i l l place "Bishop H i l l " in appropriate foreign
film festivals.

A group of ten historians, educators, and film makers, headed by Professor
Michael Loukinen of Northern Michigan University in Marquette, is preparing a
major d o c u m e n t a r y film on F i n n i s h i m m i g r a t i o n to America. The project,
budgeted for over a quarter of a m i l l i o n dollars, is scheduled for completion by
the summer of 1981.
An article by Sharon F. Kissane, "Jenny L i n d : America's Enchantment with a
Swedish N i g h t i n g a l e , " in the A n t i q u e T r a d e r W e e k l y for 17 January 1979,
features the collection of " L i n d i a n a " assembled by the late Ragnar Cederlund of
Chicago and now permanently displayed in its own room in the Walgren Library
at North Park College, Chicago.
From Gladys U l i n e of Chicago, we have received an article by John Chappie in
the Ashland (Wisconsin) D a i l y Press for 7 June 1980, "Ashland Can C l a im the
State's Only Swedish-American D a i l y Newspaper," inspired by T e l l G . Dahllöf s
commentary on Swedish-American newspapers in Wisconsin in the April 1980
Q U A R T E R L Y (Vol. X X X I , 134-35) and adding a few details.
* * *
U l f Beijbom, director of the Emigrant Institute, Växjö, sent us his article, " H u r
många är svenskamerikanerna?" from Smålandsposten (Växjö), 9 June 1980,
based on the Editor's Corner, "Who Is a Swedish American?" in the April 1980
Q U A R T E R L Y (Vol. X X X I , 83-85).
O. G. Landsverk announces, on behalf of the L a n d s v e r k F o u n d a t i o n of
Rushford, Minnesota, the deposition in several research libraries in the United
States and Europe of copies of the work of the late Dr. A l f Mongé, devoted to
demonstrating the authenticity of alleged o ld Norse cryptographic inscriptions in
North America.

W i t h reference to W i l l i a m C. Beyer's article, " A c t i v e but C r i t i c al
Non-Partisanship: A Swedish-American Newspaper Editor and the Political
Realignment of the 1850s," in the October 1980 Q U A R T E R L Y (Vol. X X X I , 242),
L i l l y S e t t e r d a h l of East Moline, Illinois, rightly reminds us that the honor of
founding Augustana College belongs to Pastor Lars P. Esbjörn, rather than to
Pastor T. N . Hasselquist.

SWEDISH AMERICAN MUSEUM
5248 North Clark Street Chicago, 60640
This museum was officially opened in 1976 by the King of
Sweden, Carl XVI Gustaf, during his bicentennial tour of the
United States. What began as a modest collection of Swedish
art and memorabilia, is now a thriving operation which has grown
so fast that more space is the museum's most pressing problem.
The museum with its log cabin styled entry is a familiar sight
in Andersonville and gives life to the thousands of Swedes who
came to this country in the last century. Its purpose is to pro­mote
an interest in and an understanding of Swedish Pioneer
life in America.
